What about Cecil do you wish to discuss?

This video is usually my answer to " I don't get free jazz " or simply " what is freedom for you?"

What strikes me as really beautiful here is not the sound,the moves or the funny hat of the guy at the beginning, but the total abandon, absence of fear and zen-like focus of cecil.
The world cannot do anything but stop when he plays like that.
